For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

By definition of power properties we have to meet:

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

Answer:

To calculate minimum value, do -b/2a to get the x-value, and plug it in to get the y-value:
-6/8 = -3/4

So the minimum value of g(x) is -81/4
This shows that g(x) has a lesser minimum value than f(x)
Answer:
x² + 2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
f(x) + g(x)
= 2x + 3 + x² - 8 ← collect like terms
= x² + 2x - 5
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+1=5
4x=5-1
4x=4
x=4/4=1
This happens to be a whole number.
Answer:
50,000
Step-by-step explanation:
20% can be rewritten as 0.2 times 250000: 0.2*250000 = 50,000
